Clogged gas cap

[Tecate250]

I have a gas cap that is the same as a big red gas cap that is stuck. Its not allowing for enough air to get into the tank. You have to have the cap half way and drive slow to keep up with the little air that gets in.

spray some carb cleaner in there

or you can use a torch cleanign tip to clean the vents in the cap also.

So the cap is reusable? Thats great. I thought I would have to throw it out.
What "sticks" on these caps? Is it the on and off switch or the actual mechanism?
